    50-60 minutes per day split into 2-3 sessions depending on what my schedule is.

    Including the 30DS, I do 6 days of cardio. 4 of those are 30DS and 2 of those is an hour of Zumba.

    I usually do a minimum of 30 - 50 minutes of cardio a day, seven days a week. Now I am trying to add some resistence training to that as well.

    Cardio (really, fat burning mode): 5X/week for an hour, a mix of treadmill, elliptical, arc, and recumbent bike.
    Weight training w/ trainer: 3X/week for 30 minutes.

    Wow, everyone is exercising like crazy! I feel like a slug. I can only manage about 2 strength training sessions a week, that are an hour long. One is lighter wts. but tons of reps. (body pump class), then a few days later I do heavier wts, less reps on my own.
    Then 2-3 days a week running and walking for 40 mins. And thats all I can manage lately. Or else I'd have to lie down for a day. lol.

    I lift 3 times a week and do no cardio at the moment because of some health issues, but I was only doing zumba once a week and maybe a run

    1.5-3 hrs a day, six days a week. I've come a long way, and it's more just doing activities that I enjoy.

    I bike( stationairy-high resistance) 3x's a week (m-w-f) for 30min. And I do 30DS 2x's a week with 5 lb weights. I'm pretty active though. Most days I go jump around on the trampoline and fitbit will have me logging in the range of 300ish cals so technically it's cardio too.

    I did about 205 minutes of cardio yesterday (60 minuts of walking and 105 minuts of Calisthenics)

    I like cardio, specially walking and biking and stuff. Very relaxing and kind of a "me" time where I get to think stuff through

    I run 3-4 days a week during Marathon training and the time varied by miles I'm running. When I am not running I just do 20 mins of High Interval Itensity Training for 20 mins on the spin bike.

    Every day except Saturday for the most part. 90 minutes to 5 hours depending on what I'm training for.

    Not enough ... not nearly enough. I have improved though

    This made me laugh. Good job for improving :)

    I usually do a mix of cardio and strenth for 1 hour 4 days a week, plus up to 60 minutes walking. I am hoping to put my stationary bike in here so I can do more time on it.

    I dislike cardio and try to do as little as possible.

    My fat loss is coming from my calorie deficit... I also lift heavy 4 days per week. As far as cardio, I get maybe 1-2 sessions per week. Cardio Kickboxing on Wednesdays and possibly the step mill on Fridays.

    If your diet is dialed in, you don't need to kill yourself with all the cardio...unless you are opposite of me and like it.
